Item options: skill, luck, option, excellent and ancient
What each item option means, how much each excellent option is worth and how to get ancient items.
Skill
Some weapons come with their own skill (Falling Slash, Lunge, Uppercut, Cyclone, Slash, Triple Shot, Power Slash, Force Wave). The skill shows up if the weapon has it; check the "Skill" column in Weapons.
Luck
- +4% critical hit chance for each item with luck you're wearing. A critical hit deals max damage.
- Adds +25% to almost every Chaos Machine mix and +10% to Jewel of Soul.
Additional option
Goes from +4 to +28 (you raise it with Jewel of Life):
| Item type | Each option level |
|---|---|
| Weapons | +4 damage |
| Staffs | +4 magic damage |
| Shields | +5 defense rate |
| Armor | +4 defense |
| Rings and pendants | HP regeneration |
Excellent
An excellent item comes with 1 or 2 options (never more than 2 when it drops from a monster).
Weapons, staffs and pendants
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Excellent damage | +10% excellent hit chance (hits max damage × 1.2) |
| Damage per level | +character level / 20 |
| Damage +2% | +2% damage |
| Attack speed | +7 |
| Life after kill | Recover 1/8 of your HP when you kill a monster |
| Mana after kill | Recover 1/8 of your mana when you kill a monster |
Armor, shields and rings
| Option | Effect |
|---|---|
| Max HP | +4% |
| Max mana | +4% |
| Damage reduction | −4% damage taken |
| Damage reflect | Returns 5% of the damage |
| Defense rate | +10% |
| Zen | +30% zen from kills |
An excellent item needs more stats than the same normal item (they're calculated as if it were 25 levels higher).
How excellent items drop
- Any monster can drop one: roughly 1 every 1,928 kills.
- The item's level is close to the monster's level minus 25. It drops at +0, always with skill, and very rarely with luck (1%).
- They also come out of Box of Kundun (see Drops and boxes).
Ancient (sets)
- Ancient items give a set bonus: the more pieces of the same set you wear, the bigger the bonus. The full set gives an extra bonus.
- Each ancient piece also comes with +5 or +10 to one stat.
- Only Kundun drops them, the boss of Kalima 6 and of his own invasion, and it's very rare: about 0.3% on each of his 3 rolls.
All 16 sets, their pieces and their bonuses are in Ancient sets.
